This is my response to the W3 prompt this week. The challenge was to write a Dectina Refrain, a poem which, syllable-wise goes 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10, but that last line is the first four lines put together in one line. Got it?
Oh — and the theme was “free” in any form. I went with free as in autonomy.
I’ve been thinking a lot about jobs and careers and that sort of thing. I’m so proud of all my children. I encouraged them individually to pursue that which they love. That way work is work but it isn’t really work because you mostly love it, right?
Autonomy in the workplace can be the key to truly loving a job. When you can do what you do, without someone breathing down your neck, micromanaging everything you do — well, THAT is amazing. Then work really isn’t work, just passion and, ultimately, a job well done.

A lovely poem Sally
I say the same to my kids, it’s important to love what we do and have freedom to do it. Beautiful poem.
Thank you!
This is fabulous, Sally! 💞💞💞 Wonderful advice, beautifully written!
Sally this bit of wisdom is perfect!
Having (or finding) inspiration is so important
That’s a great refrain in this dectina refrain. The repeating works really well, a fine inspiring affirmation.
Sally, your reflection on work and passion really resonates—it’s so true that when we’re free to follow our own path, work becomes a joy!
